"Be knowledgeable about Christianity. If you are a Christian and you believe that the Bible is the direct word of God, then have you read most of it and the Gospels? If not, you may find the person you are trying to convert is better versed in the Bible than you. Remember that atheists live in a world that is mostly religious. They've had to defend their beliefs much more than a Christian who lives in a mostly Christian society."

Who knows, we might get some new atheist recruits!

"A thorough reading and understanding of the Bible is the surest path to atheism."-- Donald Morgan --

Americans need to start realising that the proportion of atheists/agnostics to believers is not the same all over the world as it is in their dysfunctional corner of it. Religious believers are outnumbered in most parts of Europe. China is 80% atheist.

One of the bullets suggests using examples of real people who were turned to faith, such as Aru who needed proof. It starts out with getting stoned and reading Revelations, then goes on to have Aru test God (which I thought you weren't supposed to do).

What I gather from this is if Christians want to convert me, they should get me high first, then let me obstinately refuse until I get some proof.

I was thinking of starting a church: The Church of the Burning Bush. Basically, we'll just sit around getting baked in place of mass, and we won't bother with any proscriptions unless God stops in to talk to us directly. Maybe there will be a light show or something. I dunno. If we wanted to get really Moses-ish, we could wander around in the desert, but I believe that is already called Burning Man.
